1. How did you decide to choose that specific LED company?

I saw the fixtures on my friend's tank. I liked the colors, the coral's reaction to it and the look of the fixtures.I inspected the technical info' and I was convinces to test it on my tank.


2. I heard that you can decide on how many blue vs white LED bulbs you get per fixture (why did you choose .3 to .7)?

I heard so too. I chose the basic version since I've seen it and been satisfied enough. I don't like too much blue or artificial light and coral reflexion.



3. What does the 90 degree thing mean?

90 degree means that the spread of light is not wide but penetrates deeper. Since my tank is 34'' , I decided to use the narrower lens.


4. I'm thinking of building a 600 gallon build 96"x48"x30"tall...how many fixtures and what degree (60 90 120???). Just thought I'd pick ur brain!

for this wide tank I'd use 8 fixtures if you plan growing SPS corals.
